North - Worth a punt?

Last week Booney cleaned up on the Saints at 3 bucks something. I wonder if he'll have a nibble on the Rooboys this week at 6.40 or whatever they are offering ? (you can tell my close attention to detail that I'm not much of a punter LOL).

The last time the Saints put us through the wringer we got cleaned up by the Brions when we played an under-strength lineup and it's looking fairly well underdone again.

Corey - first game back for months. He'll be short of a gallop.
Chapman and Kell - OK??
No SJ and Moons - 5hit. Who's gonna kick the goals Ryan Gamble??
No Harry Taylor - MASSIVE out for the Cats
The small forward factor - Geelong's weakness is the ability to shut down small forwards. We have had Schnieder and the Carlton lads tear us to shreds. Who will shut down Thomas, Campbell and Boomer.

North are a real chance at Cat Park this week.

i have never bet against the cats at skilled and doubt i will start this week, but you make a very valid point, kangaroos supporters would be stocked they got them this week with all those outs

Had not even looked at that mate, ( Friday after work at the pub is my time ) and I am sure as hell going to :

1 - Look at what the sides line up as and
2 - Confirm those odds as any two horse race involving a $6+ runner is worth a look.

I got the Saints at $3.50 mate. ;)

North's record at Cat Park is better than most. A patch of ground won't win it for us, we'll have to remember how to kick goals again.

since the roos in 07 lost 1 game at home i think which was the power in rd 17 or something, lost by a kick and had 5 players out....

Hopefully a nice sunday stroll for the boys today.

Although I would not beat against the cats at skilled its probably unlikely to be easy with the list of players out.

The J-POD back in form, but needs to keep doing it against quality opponents and away from kardinia park
